Urge You To Override: HB 302, the Life Insurance Reform Act

Dear [Decision Maker],

As your constituent, I need your support on House Bill 302. Over $500 million in life insurance benefits has gone unpaid because grieving family members were unaware that the loved one they just lost had such a policy. Insurers obligated to pay the benefits failed to meet their obligation, and caregivers, children and family members have been forced to live without the support their loved one intended. This money ended up in the pockets of insurance companies. This is wrong and it must be rectified.

Many groups, including AARP, support HB 302, and I hope that you do, too. Family members deserve and are owed this money that was paid for by their deceased loved ones, and it must be paid by insurance companies.

Please act promptly and vote in support to override the HB 302 veto. It is the right thing to do for Illinois families.
